Milk River Spa

The Milk River Spa and hotel, about 30 miles (48km) southeast of Mandeville, is operated by Jamaica’s Ministry of Tourism. Analysis of the mineral waters that flow from the nearby hills apparently show that they are richer than the waters of any of the leading European spas, and are reputed to cure numerous ailments like rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and liver disorders. There are two springs, baths and a public mineral water swimming pool open at weekends. The hotel is built against a limestone cliff above the baths. The mineral springs were discovered during the 18th century by an escaped slave.
